Did you know that aside from being in constant pain, having chronic migraines, dealing with memory loss and struggling to move due to arthritic deterioration people like Doenice suffering from Lyme disease can spend upwards of $50,000 a year to just manage the symptoms, see specialists and undergo treatments? Best case, this gets some remission relief but never a cure.
Doenice has been diagnosed with late stage 4 chronic Lyme disease in addition to 3 other tick-born co-infections. She is bed-bound, has developed stage 3 kidney disease and hangs on daily to the sliver of hope that a new treatment created in Europe will help actually kill the Lyme and give her (and Pete) their life back.
SOT (Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy ) treatment is the life-changing (saving!) cure that Doenice has been hoping for since her diagnosis nearly 30 years ago. This series of treatments (4x) comes with a steep price tag however - $5,000 each! Add on the travel to see specialists in Utah, treatments to boost her immune system, antibiotics and various therapies to deal with the ongoing pain and side-effects of this treatment. It's a tremendous burden - physically, mentally and financially - for anyone to bear.
Please contribute what you can and provide Doenice the chance to reclaim her life from Lyme disease. Give her back the dignity of enjoying the simple things...the daily things...you and I take for granted.
No amount is too small. Please share with your friends and family.
Please, don't let Lyme take Doenice
